There will be two different month- long closures for this project one for each direction of travel.

Badger Road will also see some changes starting Monday May 13-th as workers construct a two-way left turn onto Badger between Dennis and Hurst Road.

It will also include widening the road, curve improvements at the Holmes/Peede intersection, and updated drainage and utilities.

MITCHELL EXPRESSWAY RESURFACING

Project Description. This project will resurface the Mitchell Expressway from milepost 356 (between Sheep Creek Extension and Geist Road, where the highway becomes divided) to the Richardson Highway interchange, including work on the interchange ramps. In addition to resurfacing, this project will include bridge repair and maintenance, upgraded guardrail, ADA improvements, new LED light fixtures, and upgraded electrical equipment.

Traffic Impacts. There will be two month-long closures for this project, one for each direction of travel. Starting on Monday, May 20, the Mitchell Expressway will be closed to Richardson-bound traffic from Geist Road to the Richardson Highway interchange. Traffic coming from the Ester area will need to exit at Geist Road. Drivers will be able to cross the Mitchell Expressway at University Avenue, Peger Road, and Lathrop Street. The map below shows the official detour route.

In mid-June, if everything goes according to schedule, the Mitchell Expressway will re-open to Richardson-bound traffic and the second phase will begin. During the second phase, the Mitchell Expressway will be closed to Parks-bound traffic from the Richardson Highway ramps to Geist Road. Traffic coming from North Pole will need to travel toward the Steese Highway to access Airport Way. Drivers will be able to cross the Mitchell Expressway at University Avenue, Peger Road, and Lathrop Street. The map below shows the official detour route.

Project Description. This project will construct a two-way left-turn lane on Badger Road between Dennis Road and Hurst Road. It will also include widening the road, curve improvements at the Holmes/Peede intersection, and updated drainage and utilities.

Traffic Impacts. The first phase of this project is expected to begin on Monday, May 13. Work will begin to widen the road on the north shoulder (opposite side from bike path), starting at Dennis Road and working toward Hurst Road. This work will impact access to driveways and side streets on the north side of the road. During this phase, mainline Badger traffic will see lane shifts, a reduced speed limit, and intermittent flagging operations.

After widening work is complete, the contractor will return to Dennis and begin work on mainline Badger Road. This work will be completed in three three-mile sections at a time. Pilot cars will guide traffic through the construction zone. Pilot car operations will begin at 8:30 a.m. and will continue until 11 p.m.
